Who’s Your Fandom?

I hear the term “fandom” tossed around a lot and it’s led me to wonder just how many fandoms I belong to. I think these would be my picks, in order of importance to my life: (Whatever that means, amirite guys? Sigh. Anyway.)

1. Phish

2. Howard Stern Show

3. Red Sox

4. Twilight

5. Grateful Dead

That about sums up my nerdiness. I deleted things like “comedy” and “vinyasa yoga” because as much as they’re my passions they’re not really fandoms, and this is some serious scientific research I’m conducting.  What weird pop culture thing are so you obsessed with it’s played a pivotal role shaping your life? I’m genuinely curious.
